Been there, done that.

Good to hear the friend wasn't seriously hurt, as well as the quad.

Man, the good old days when that question didn't even need asked here at the Connection! Everybody here on the CanAm/Bombardier forum ONLY had DS's. Those of us that still have the old Sand Pigs are still here but we had to start up an all DS all the time site so we didn't have to dig through all of the clutter to stay on top of things and help the nebs out along the way.

If you're a serious DS rider and want an invite send me a PM and I'll get you there. Don't want to give the mods here the wrong idea. Both are great sites.

That bar on the back is a "grab bar", not a "wheelie bar"... LOL

Chirochris.... Hmmm... Are you trying to drum up business by letting people borrow your quads??? JK Hope you can find the parts you need.

Give him a little extra "adjustment" for crashing your quad. I learned the hard way about being careful who I let use my quads too. At least the teens I let use my quads didn't get hurt. Was tempted to change that though.

Default I feel your pain

Been there too many times. Just finished repairing my 86' KX125 which cost over $200 and the parts are getting harder to find. I have reached the point where no one else rides the bike but me. Same goes for the DS650 unless you sign a waiver! I'm lucky enough to have a few other quads that inexperienced riders can handle. We have all had our share of wipeouts but it's the stupidity that drives me crazy. Glad to hear your friend is alright. Hope he offered to pay for the damages.

As for the grab bar, pick up a six pack rack. They are handy and have wider handles on them. Makes it easier to move around.
